Up for auction was a letter from Rev Daniel Boote to William Henry Cavendish Bentinck, 3rd Duke of Portland
29.6.1772 Letter from Rev. Daniel Boote, Portman Street, Portman Square, London, to [W.H.C. Cavendish-Bentinck] 3rd Duke of Portland; 29 June 1772, Discusses arrangements for the ownership and patronage of the chapel [presumably at Lisson Grove], mentioning Mr Bliss's involvement. 2 ff
17.6.1772 Letter from Mr Thomas Bliss to [W.H.C. Cavendish-Bentinck] 3rd Duke of Portland; 17 June 1772
Refers to Rev. Harley's informing the duke of a new church at Lisson Green 'which it was worthy Your Grace's Purchasing'; expresses the wish for the duke to own it rather than 'that it should fall into the hands of Dissenters, who have already made application to me on that head and offered very advantageous terms'.
I had Daniel Boote's wife as Ann Brown but I have no dates for either Daniel or Ann.
Cheers,
